Nice.
This must actually be Tom Reilly who did The Ambassador's Brain.
Saw his new live-action short last week.
Clever guy.

If this is how you guys treat media culture I'd love to see your impression of the advertising industry.

I'm genuinely surprised that Pulp could afford such expensive animation and soundtrack production, not to mention the creative time involved. Kevin Schluter's business must be doing far better than anyone dreamed to afford all this. Well done, Kevin, and congratulations on showing your support for local commercial production by investing tens of thousands of dollars in this ad. Bravo!

It's just another TVC that says clients don't want to spend any money, so the agency dishes them up a piece of low budget crap, instead of saying come back when you can afford to advertise on TV.

It does our industry no favours at all.

And most punters who see it, will think that some school kids made it in their spare time.

I agree with 10:24. They could have sent it out to Avondale College and had the same thing made for nothing.

Tacky concept but wicked animation!!
Anyone who knows anything about stop-frame or just animation and art-direction can see this is very well crafted.
